what Scion should have done with the xb2..

[2dot4]

I love the new xBs - they're sexy and everyone knows how I feel about the 2AZ, but I was questioning a few of scion's design choices...like why put the grille in such an awkward spot, and why trace such a simple bumper with accents? So I started photo-choppin, and this is what I came up with....

I also lowered it and shaved the door handles...why not?

What do you guys think? Improvement or Monstrosity?

Love the front bumper... a little 2 low for " stock " but yes the front bumper you did looks really good

[triflin]

Love the lowered look and the door handles. Grill looks awful in my opinion.

Oh, and those little bumper accents you talking about are there for a reason. Check out the TRD intake. :up:

monstrosity, sorry man, the front bumper kills it. looks like a big friggin bubble

[firstkingofbeer]

hey if you got the money you can make anything happen!

[scionxb.org]

That is exactly what they should have done!


Great idea!! :toast:

I like it but have to agree with it being too low for stock.

Nice job. :up:

I only lowered it because I was bored - the whole point was the design on the front-end. lol

Seems like a toss-up so far...just like scion wants lol

[nameless_ak]

Ehh.. i dont know, i do think they could have done somthing a little different with the front maybe a little sharper IMO, but i like the "bumber accents" makes it look a little more aggresive to me. The lower grill is stupid, but im not sure that the top one there is better. and im in alaska so i need the heigth i already plow snow with the front.

i'm sorry, but ew! i remember when big mouth body kits were in... maybe back then, but not now!

P.S. I always hated big mouth body kits!!!!!:fart:

[Toastid_Metal]

[my1stnewcar]

sorry to say that i still like my stock front bumper...hmmmm....maybe if you put fog lights on the side of lower grill maybe it will look better

[DriverLost]

lol rob, i just thought of saying that!!!!

[mandca]

The lower grill hole is way to big looks like a white frog with its mouth open

[DriverLost]

Yeah but fill that hole full of turbo inter cooler. :up:

[mandca]
